(Angie says:) First night at sea, we pulled away from the Dock at 5pm. I lost $5. to Blaine because he called, correctly, the direction we would be pulling out through the bay. I didn't get to the Atlantis Casino bescause we all slept in too long so I had to get my gambling in somehow!!!
Our first duty at sea was to report promptly for the muster drill. Most of us passed with flying colors but one couple was missing and heldup the entire community for way too long. We think their luggage arrived but they didn't!!!
Our dinner was quite nice, however we figured out that there is one menu a night and you can either get it brought to you in the main dining room or go through a buffet line and dish up yourself. I don't think Mark will sit still too many nights and have the meal brought, he will be in the buffet line. Things were going well until......(to the music of Gilligans Island)......
The Weather started getting rough,
The Tiny Ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The MV Explorer would be lost,
The Explorer would be lost,
We staggered from the dining table and proceeded to the main lounge for the screening of Mama Mia. I didn't last long. To the purser's deck for seasick meds, I put on my wristbands with the pressure points and to bed, (where I was able to watch Mama Mia from the comport of a prone position.
Stats: The MV Explorer is 590 feet long, travels at up to 28 knots, which makes it the fastest cruise ship on the seas, which is the reason we are able to travel all the way to Brazil.
I am rocking as a type this but seem to be alright today without meds. I hope I have my sea legs now.
